Abstract: Methods and systems for arranging audience members and musicians are described herein. An assembly of seats for an event location includes a plurality of musician seats and a plurality of audience seats. Each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats can be disposed in a particularly designated location on an event location surface relative to the plurality of musician seats such that each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats has an audience immersion score that is above a threshold minimal acceptable audience immersion score (MAAIS). The audience immersion score includes a musician adjacency component, a conductor position depth offset component, and a conductor position lateral offset component.
